Want/need Free traffic? These
are for you!
(Ummmm, Maybe. Please read my update at the bottom!!)

Traffic generating programs are one
of the quickest ways to get your hit counter spinning
and leave you thinking "WOW this does
work!!" Traffic generators can and will help get
you recognition that a new site needs. Some search
engines prefer a site with a good hit rate, or steady
flow of traffic, and with the help of traffic
generators, you can finally make that possible.

I have recently started using a few
of the more popular traffic generating programs, and
have been thrilled with the results. They really
do work. (Sorry if this seems like hype. But to
me, it was the "miracle cure" my site
needed)

I have been busy experimenting with a
few of the more popular traffic genterating programs.
I am listing them here with a brief report of how
well they did. I will tell you that all did work, but
they differ in small ways. Most of these sites will
also allow you to add any other sites you may have
(affiliate programs too!) You will need a little
extra time to make them work,(you need to surf to get
credits) but if you are new, and your hit counter
reads around 5, then I believe it is very important
to invest the small amount of time needed. I did, and
I have found that I am getting visits from people who
have bookmarked the site, and there are a few search
engines who have finally indexed my site! And I
cannot be positive, but it does seem that I rank
higher in Google now. (you can go to the adfree stats
to see for yourself) It has been quite exciting.
You'll see, I think you're gonna love it.

*If you have tried these or other
traffic generating programs, or banner programs, etc.
Please go to my
Forum, and let us all know how it worked
for you. Thanks!*

Warning!!!
All of these sites do not allow adult content, but I
have had the great displeasure of having to view a
few adult sites that managed to slip in- or adult
advertising on the site, such as banners and popups.
And much to my horror ended up having to shut down my
computer to regain control due to popups. So be
aware, that some of these sites may pop up at any
time....so keep the kids away.So far, it only
happened on 2 of the sites I list...so I will tell
you which ones I encountered.

You can download a Great little popup
killer on the hit harvester login page. Some of these
sites have LOTS of popups, so you may need it!

*TIP*-Hate those popups?? If
you don't download the popup killer from hitharvester or my Free sites and downloads page, simply select the window on the
taskbar (bottom of screen) that you wish to get rid
of, and press Alt+F4. POOF! All gone!! Enjoy! : )

Clickthru.net-
Great program! To work this program, simply surf for
credit, but you must stay at least 30 seconds. (you
visit one site, they send you one visitor) As you
surf, you are allowed addtional credits for those who
put a bonus icon on their site. If you click on the
icon and win, you get get lots of extra credits.(this
also encourages visitors to look around your site for
these icons. You are also allowed to hold your
credits, so you can deal them out as you wish.
content seems to be clean.Bad points: It seems that I stopped getting
visitors for a bit. But it has picked back up. Im
sure this is due to the need for new sign ups. (I
believe that you are only allowed to view a site
once, but maybe they are changing this) So the more
who join, the more views everyone gets. Also, before
viewing the next site, you must rate the site you
just saw on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being best.
This is fine except it seems that others do not want
you to get a high score (thus getting more views, and
high ranking for first views). If others were not so
competetive, it would be great. So dont take the
voting to heart at first. People can be cruel, as I
have found out many many times...... : ( Also, there
is no counter or timer to let you know when your time
is up.

I
love clicks- Not bad,
not bad at all. Gets you great traffic. Its similar
to click thru. (in fact, they seem to advertise hand
in hand...) You surf for credit, on a one for one
basis. The big difference is, there is a counter to
automatically let you know when your 30 seconds are
up. You can hold your credits for later. There is no
voting, or bonus credits. However, some webmasters
will offer extra credits at their site. The content
seems clean.Bad points- The visitors seemed to drop for a
bit. And there is no real incentive for visitors to
view all of your site.

Hit
harvester- Let say it works. Its not a
bad program, but its real basic. I mean BASIC. You
surf for credits 1:1. There is a time to let you know
when time is up. Bad points: There is no way to get back to
your account, you cannot hold your credits, (so when
you surf, the visitors start immediately) and this is
one of those sites that I told you about (adult
popups) But there is a popup killer on the login
page....DOWNLOAD IT!! It works, but still most popups
will get by it. (if one gets by...right click the big
X on the taskbar, and click "add popup"
then close. This will kill it next time) So beware!!
But the hits are unlimited, and it is always
guaranteed traffic.

Ezhits4U-
Good program. Its in the same line as hit harvester.
You surf for credits at 1:1. They offers some
incentives for your surfing. There is a counter, and
you are allowed to save your credits. Bad points- There are no incentives for those
viewing your pages. And it is the 2nd of the sites
that I have had the experience of "adult
content" . You can report these types of sites
on the toolbar easily however.

Clicks4U-
All I can say is....WOW! (Ummmm.
NO. Read my message below) I get more hits
from this than the others combined....But you will
have to figure this one out. Im not sure how it
works. There is a type of "lottery" That
you guess what the ranking is for sites. When you get
one right, you get a ticket with 3 numbers on it.
(you get to pick the 3 numbers or have them
automatically filled in) You can get up to 30
tickets. Then 3 numbers are drawn, if you get one
right you get 3 credits, 2 right...50 credits (+- 100
hits...and all 3 right gets you 2000 credits. You can
gather and sell these credits to others too. Its
interesting. But I still need to figure it out. (I
have gotten a bit of traffic) It seems like traffic
is double your credits...(?)Bad points: You have to do the lottery for
credits. But you would have to surf with the other
programs anyways.....AHEM.
Okay. If you have the outer covering of an alligator
and the ferocity to match, then this one's for you.
The other webmasters in this program will take you
down and slit your throat. No credit, No Glory...they
will all kill your self esteem faster than a
Jackrabbit on a date...UGH. I'm out.

Clicks for hits- It stinks. NEXT! (of course, you
have your own opinion, this is mine)

UPDATE 6/17/01- Wow. I'm sorry to say this, but the major
reason that I am about to shut down my site is due to
some of these these traffic generators. Sure they work
fine, but the other webmasters that are in these programs
are animals. I have gotten repeated low votes on my site,
which has just completely killed all the joy that I had
for this site. I pay $6.00 a month to keep this site
banner free, and provide free services, and have never
received any kind of payment from any programs or
otherwise. And all to let these people shove my face in
the mud. Be careful. They are out to slit your throat,
and unless you have a good suit of armor, I'm not real
sure that I would join just yet. Some of these are not
for the faint-hearted. My bad experiences have been
mostly with clicks4u. Its a great service, just the other
webmasters suck. Click thru is another one where you
really need to ignore the voting process....Of course
they all want to try to make your site lower than theirs,
so they vote real low for you.
